Hi Bob & Claire!

Research for our organ was done with our feet. (There were no websites then!) We simply visited different studios and collected the "spec's" on different electronic organs. Then we met Robert Wyatt and Claire Arnold at the Allen studio in Garden City, New York in 1974 and we purchased our first Allen organ. The Allen replaced a Hammond draw bar organ we'd bought a year earlier.

The Allen dealership in our area run by Robert Wyatt and Claire Arnold stayed in touch with us by mail and phone, keeping us abreast of anything new that might interest us. As a result, we purchased a new Allen organ three years later. One just isn't enough! We also have to mention that the demonstrations given in our homes after the purchase were a real musical treat.

With the purchase of our Allen organ we've become part of a "family" of Allen owners. Bob and Claire encourage this even further with social gatherings at the studio, church demonstrations and in different home where we meet other Allen owners and share information and music.

The Allen organ has brought us new musical experiences, new friends, and has generally made our lives so much richer.

Sincerely,

Ernest and Viola Cox

The Cox family is filled with art and music. Ernest has had his own jazz band, is a fine clarinetist, & plays the organ, while Viola is an accomplished vocalist. They are pictured here with son Bruce, left, and daughter Michelle, right.
